The suburb of Newtown lies in the southern part of Wellington in New Zealand.
Originally a working-class suburb, Newtown has followed gentrification trends in recent years, attracting large numbers of immigrants, students and young professionals and resulting in an ethnically diverse population.
The suburb lies east of Vogeltown, between the Wellington city centre and Berhampore. Wellington Hospital and Wellington Zoo both lie within the boundaries of Newtown.
